Odd Inquiry

Has anyone received an Inquiry like this? This person joined 4/20 and has no reviews. 

 

I messaged the person back on Air BNB but have not received a response. 

Please advise?

@Leiloni0  This is a known scam and many hosts have received these. The person will try to make a deal with you that they are going to book your house, pay for the booking, but not actually stay, and then you keep half the money and send them back the other half. It is a stolen credit card scam. Report this profile to Airbnb and don't communicate with this scammer again. If you get any more of them, don't reply to the message, just report it as a scam.

Do a search for "scam" here on the Community Center.... there are plenty of posts. 

 

Here is one of many. https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Help/Martin-Nowell-scam/m-p/1221245
